How the quest works

[Diogo Neto 0]

Hello,

I'm a beginner at making quests and I've been studying the code to get an idea of how it works, however, I'm running into some doubts.

How does inserting a new quest into the server work? In other words, my question here is whether there is a specific file to insert the quest into or whether I can insert the quest anywhere. After inserting the quest, do I have to go somewhere to inform the server that it has to run that quest or will it know that it has to run it automatically as soon as I put the quest in a file?

1. you have to insert it in quests file at locale (server side)  2. You have to insert its name on locale_list  ( newquest.lua ) or (newquest.quest) etc 
3 . You have to make.py and then RR server

Insert a .quest file anywhere within the /quest folder.

From there you may compile it singularly via terminal (./qc PATH/QUESTNAME.EXT), or you may batch-compile all of them by inserting them into the quest_list and using the make file.

In order for a quest to work you may want to restart the server, however if it's not a new quest and you just made changes to it, you may also use the in-game command "/reload q" without running into issues.

Thank you both!

Can someone explain the 3rd step to me simply? How do I make a new make.py file? I guess I have to make it so that the quest i insert is read, right?

cd /usr/metin2/server/share/locale/english/quest && python2.7 make.py

Then I get: Command not found.

I have Python 3.13
And it doesn't matter whether I enter it in Putty or VirtualBox. I get the same error message.

dont take it for literal.. cd to your quest folder . then try make.py without python2.7

or wherever your makefile is

All right. There was a small step forward when I enter the following:

/usr/metin2/server/share/locale/germany/quest && make.py

Then comes: Permission denied

I once read something about: Giving rights at 777 or something like that. Is that related to this? Where and how would I do this now?

chmod 777 make.py then try again

try to find your make.py file

The file make.py is in the folder:

/usr/metin2/server/share/locale/germany/quest/
 

 

Edited: The make.py file says the following when I edit it:

/usr/local/bin/python
Is the file there?

Ps: Just looked it up. She's not there either. This is probably the link to Python.
